If you want to keep it as an Acura, I'd see no issue with that being rice. Just as long as it's done right IMHO.

If you did a full Euro R conversion, then yeah, it'd be okay. Otherwise, no.

Red self-applied emblems make cars go faster and depreciate slower, so I'd say go do it, grasshopper.

All that matters is if you like it. One TSX owner here put pinstripes on his TSX...I'm not a fan of pinstripes, but he liked it and that's all that matters.

Yeah, they A C U R A on the trunk is fugly. You should go buy a stock emblem and put that back on. Normally im the guy saying do what makes you happy, but this is just yuck. Any ways back to the Red A or H its up to you, but you won't see one on my car.

if you guys don't like it then don't do it to your cars. some of your mods are ugly as hell too but i don't say anything. And why would i de-badge the car and leave 2 holes in the trunk? I didn't do the mod for you, i did it for me and i like it so STFU!

Watch it bud, it's great that you like your own mods, and that's what counts most. This forum is where people express their opinions. You shouldn't care what other people say as long as you're satisfied with the results.

I honestly think if the car was clean, and the angle of was better (just an overall better picture) people opinions would have been different....either nicer or it might just make it look better. I think it probalby looks pretty cool in person but that picture doesn't do it justice, thats for sure.


WICKED- Good attitude, screw other people and do what you want but clean your car

I can't imagine a guy like Wicked would let his car get too dirty, nevermind take a photo of it. I have a feeling the car is clean, but the photo is way fuzzy, and the "pattern" you see on the trunklid is a reflection of the building above the car.

Good point! Well then maybe just a better picture would do it more justice.

Red A

Isn't that what the thread started about? If you like the A, put it on. But you might expect to get references to "The Scarlet Letter"
